Maximize uptime & slash your cost per part — choose the Korloy TNMA160408 NC6315 for high-feed, interrupted turning of cast iron.
The Korloy TNMA160408 NC6315 is a CVD-coated carbide turning insert designed specifically for high-feed and interrupted machining of ductile and gray cast iron. Built on Korloy’s proven K15 substrate with a multi-layer CVD coating, this insert provides exceptional wear resistance, chipping protection, and thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding cutting conditions.
Key Features & Specs:
• Grade & Coating: CVD-coated K15 grade delivers excellent wear and chipping resistance for ductile and gray cast iron machining KORLOYkorloyeurope.eu.
• Chip Breakers: MK for smoother surface finish and lower cutting loads (medium cutting), RK for toughness in rough, interrupted cuts KORLOYkorloyeurope.eu.
• Geometry: Optimized lands and wide support minimize vibrations and edge breakage
Why It’s a Best Seller:
Less downtime with stable tool life, even under high-feed or heavy interruption. Boosts productivity, protects against chipping, and ensures consistent surface finish—backed by proven performance gains of up to 25% longer tool life versus competitors
Industries Perfect For:
Automotive (brake discs, flywheels), aerospace, die & mold, general engineering—any cast iron turning that demands reliability and performance.
It's engineered for ductile and gray cast iron—ideal for applications with high feed, interrupted cuts, or vibration-prone machining
MK offers a sharper land for smoother cutting and great surface finish in medium cuts. RK features a flat land for maximum toughness and stability in rough and interrupted cuts
With its enhanced CVD coating and optimized substrate, NC6315 delivers far higher wear and chipping resistance—studies show up to 25–30% more parts per edge than other grade
Yes—especially with the MK breaker, it's proven to maintain tool life and surface finish even at high speeds and consistent feeds
It’s a trusted choice in automotive, aerospace, die & mold, and general engineering sectors—anywhere stable, high-quality cast iron machining is critical.
